Chapter 4 Marriage I'll give you three months to find someone, one...

"...Mr. Fu, Madam said she would like you to come back to the old house for lunch at 11:30 tomorrow." The personal assistant reminded Fu Yanli of the schedule.

Fu Yanli was having a headache. Ever since he turned thirty, his mother had been urging him to get married more and more urgently. Even as the CEO of the Fu Group, he couldn't escape the fate of blind dates.

Although he had confessed to his mother four years ago that he had had a relationship with a boy and needed to find him, negotiate compensation, and then consider marriage.

But his mother seemed convinced that this was his excuse to avoid marriage, and completely ignored it, insisting on introducing him to suitable girls... and even boys.

“Tell my mother I will attend on time,” Fu Yanli replied.

"Yes, Mr. Fu."

After the personal assistant in the passenger seat arranged and reminded him of all the schedules, he sat up straight and glanced out the window, where he saw a father and son who were both very good-looking.

Although it was just a fleeting glimpse, the child's appearance still left a deep impression.

Incredibly beautiful.

However, the personal assistant always maintained a calm and reliable persona at work and did not say anything.

In the back seat, Fu Yanli also glanced out the window and happened to see the clubhouse building, his expression changing slightly.

Four years ago, when he first took over the Fu Group, he was young but parachuted into the position of president, which was opposed by many people. After several struggles, Fu Yanli always won. Those people then had ulterior motives and wanted to create a sex scandal.

He was thus framed and ended up having a relationship with a strange boy at the club.

Because he was under the influence of the drug, he initially forgot to turn on the light. When he remembered later, the boy begged him in a hoarse voice not to turn on the light.

Feeling sorry for him, he agreed to the other party's request.

Therefore, until the very end, I didn't know what he looked like. I only remembered that he had a very nice voice, pleading softly in pain, and that his body was somewhat thin, but supple to the touch, captivating and alluring.

He recalled that they came four times, and even if the drugs played a role, it's hard to say that he wasn't driven by ulterior motives.

After all, that feeling is truly addictive.

When he woke up the next day, he originally wanted to talk to the other party. If they were compatible, they could date. If the other party was unwilling to accept it, he would provide financial compensation.

After all, judging from his awkward response, the boy was not arranged by those people. Later, the boy said in a tearful voice that he had gone into the wrong room.

But the boy disappeared, and the surveillance cameras were broken. He had a two-week work commitment abroad, so he had to ask his assistant to look for him while he flew abroad himself.

When he returned, all the clues had disappeared. Information on many members of the club could not be found, and even he could not do it. Therefore, Fu Yanli ultimately failed to find the boy.

Perhaps it was the abrupt end of their encounter that made it all the more unforgettable. Fu Yanli kept this boy in his heart, and four years later, he still hadn't forgotten him.

As thoughts raced through my mind, the clubhouse was left behind by the car.

Jiang Shunian didn't hesitate for long. He took Nuonuo and hailed a taxi to Yu Yanchen's residence. He bought groceries at the supermarket in the community and entered the house by entering the password.

Yu Yanchen's place seems to be well-maintained, but it still looks messy, with clothes, scripts, and magazines scattered around, which is very much in line with his personality.

Jiang Shunian tidied things up a bit, making it look somewhat presentable.

His luggage had already been delivered by Xiao Ju's arrangement. The door to the guest room was open, and his luggage was neatly placed inside.

Nono sat obediently on the sofa, flipping through a storybook, her long, thick eyelashes drooping slightly as she read intently.

At this time, Nono was not quite like him; he was inexplicably serious and rigid.

Jiang Shunian found an apron, tied it on, and began preparing Nuonuo's dinner. Children need to eat three meals a day on time to grow up quickly.

After dinner, Nuonuo, a tiny bundle, sprawled on the sofa to digest, patting her belly like an otter.

Jiang Shunian couldn't help but take out his phone to record his son's adorable appearance. His phone was filled with too many videos and photos of his son, and he even transferred them to his computer because his memory was running low.

Little Jiang Yunnuo also skillfully performed her duties, blowing kisses to her father.

At 7:30, it was Jiang Yunnuo's study time, which he arranged himself. He studied for an hour every day, learning to recognize characters, ancient poems, and English.

His time management is so well-organized, calling him "Little Kid Brother" is no exaggeration.

Jiang Shunian even suspected that Nuonuo's other father might have obsessive-compulsive disorder, since he was a rather capricious person.

While Nuonuo was studying, Jiang Shunian started preparing dinner for himself and Yu Yanchen, wondering if Xiaoju would stay and help with the preparations.

Nuonuo had already fallen asleep by 9:30. When Yu Yanchen came home, he smelled the aroma of food as soon as he entered the door. It smelled just like home. Yu Yanchen had eaten Jiang Shunian's cooking before and had always thought about it. Now, smelling it again, he was quite moved.

"Brother, how about we both make do?"

His brother is equally adept in the living room and the kitchen, and he also has a beautiful and well-behaved son. Isn't this the ideal life?

Little Orange covered her mouth and chuckled upon hearing this.

Jiang Shunian rolled his eyes speechlessly: "Give me a break, come and serve the dishes."

OK!

Xiao Ju has been skipping dinner to lose weight, but when she saw the delicious-looking four dishes and soup, she immediately changed her mind. She decided to rest today and start dieting again tomorrow, and promptly sat down to eat.

After tasting it, he squinted his eyes in happiness and gave a thumbs up: "Brother Jiang, you're the best cook!"

The two opened a can of soda, not daring to drink too much, just to add to the atmosphere. Yu Yanchen asked Jiang Shunian about her plans: "Shunian, which agency are you planning to sign with this time?"

"I haven't decided yet. Do you have any recommendations?"

His previous agency was a shoddy operation with very poor resources. Fortunately, the contract was only for two years. Jiang Shunian happened to have a role that went viral and was starting to show signs of becoming famous. Naturally, he didn't want to renew the contract with the agency, which made the agency resentful. Just then, a big shot took a liking to him, and the agency planned to send him to that person's bed. Jiang Shunian was young at the time and was a little shrewd. He didn't drink too much and was able to escape.

I just didn't expect them to drug him.

That's getting off topic. He's been out of the entertainment industry for four years and knows nothing about it now, so he can only listen to Yu Yanchen's opinion.

“The best one is naturally Time Series Media. It was just established under the Fu family three years ago. It has abundant resources, good benefits, and not many messy issues, but the entry requirements are high.” Yu Yanchen sighed. “The others are all the same. They flatter the powerful and bully the weak, and some have business entertainment, just like you did before. Or how about signing with my company? There aren’t many messy issues there. I can recommend you to the boss, so it shouldn’t be a problem. But you know, the resources aren’t good. I’ve been in this business for so many years and haven’t made it big. Now I can only shoot web dramas.”

Jiang Shunian took a sip of wine and hummed in agreement.

"Or you could set up your own studio, but without affiliating with a film and television company, you'd have to find your own resources and hire all sorts of people. Do you have the time and energy to do that?"

“It’s really difficult.” Jiang Shunian found it terrifying to even think about it. After a moment of contemplation, he said, “How about we sign with your company first? If it’s convenient for you, could you ask around for me?”

"No problem, I'll ask tomorrow."

After the meal, the two went to rest. Jiang Shunian brushed his teeth twice to make sure there was no taste before gently lying down next to Nuonuo, hugging his son and quickly falling asleep.

The next day, he took Nuonuo to the film set and entrusted her to Xiaoju's care while he went to the production team to sign the contract.

The male lead still hasn't shown up today, saying he was delayed by an event. But Yu Yanchen secretly gossiped with him that he was accompanying his sugar daddy on a cruise trip and wouldn't be back until the day after tomorrow. The sugar daddy of this drama is the main investor, so the male lead has a lot of freedom.

Today we're still filming scenes between Yu Yanchen and the female lead.

The female lead's name is Chen Letong, a senior student at the Film Academy. She is a young, beautiful, and very thin girl. Her eyes lit up when she saw Jiang Shunian.

Jiang Shunian greeted her politely, and then went to the producer to sign the contract.

He looked at the contract repeatedly, and Yu Yanchen also found him a lawyer. After confirming that there were no problems, he signed it.

He played a minor, albeit unimportant, role, earning 30,000 yuan. The producer, perhaps having done his research, jokingly asked, "I searched for you yesterday; you were almost famous before. Why did you suddenly retire from the entertainment industry?"

There is absolutely no information online about why Jiang Shunian retired from the entertainment industry; everything has been suppressed, and even many of Jiang Shunian's news videos have been deleted.

"Something has changed," Jiang Shunian replied vaguely.

The producer didn't press further. In the entertainment industry, nothing is surprising. He said, "Then you should focus on filming. Even though it's a web series, if you act well, people will still like it."

"Okay, thank you."

After signing the contract, his scene arrangements began to be prepared, and the first scene could be filmed in the afternoon. He went to get his hair and makeup done first.

They ate boxed lunches on set at noon, but Jiang Shunian got up early to cook and put the food in a thermal container, so they could just heat it up in the kitchen in the car and eat.

Meanwhile, at the Fu family's old residence.

The garden-style architecture is magnificent and elegant, nestled against the mountains and beside the water, as beautiful as a painting.

The car arrived at the main building on time at 11:20. Fu Yanli got out of the car and walked into the main hall.

When his mother, Shen Lingyi, saw him return, she didn't get up. She snorted and said, "Isn't this my good son who only wants to grow old alone, who doesn't even care about his mother, and who needs a life assistant to keep in touch with her?"

Fu Yanli: "...Mom, I've been busy lately."

"You're never not busy," Shen Lingyi continued sarcastically. "You're already thirty and still not looking for someone. Do you know that a man's body starts to decline after thirty, and the quality of his sex life gets worse? What if you can't have a healthy baby later?"

Fu Yanli: "..."

He had a medical check-up recently, and the doctor said he was very healthy, with bodily functions better than a 25-year-old man.

But Ms. Shen Lingyi didn't believe it, and she suggested a solution: "Why don't you go to the hospital and store some semen?"

"Then you'll use unethical and illegal means to create a bunch of children for me?" Fu Yanli exposed his mother's thoughts. "Mom, I've told you before, as long as I find that boy and we talk things out, I will accept the marriage arrangement."

Shen Lingyi was very dissatisfied: "Using this excuse to fob me off again! Fu Yanli, let me tell you, I'm giving you three months to find someone. Once the time is up, you must find someone to marry!"

Fu Yanli sighed softly, "Alright."

Although he didn't want to give up in his heart, he also didn't want to upset his mother anymore.
